It's not sponsored, and the fact that Ms Black has no standing, under DCI's own rules, to propose anything should make it a short conversation. Board members are supposed to be focused on the business end of DCI, not what color uniforms (or what instruments) the corps employ. That she proposed it is enough for me to think as I do. Would a DCI board member do something like this on her own? I doubt it. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KVG_DC Posted January 8, 2020 Share Posted January 8, 2020 I'm fairly sure the conversation went something like this, "Yeah if we directors are named on the proposal, the backlash against our particular corps is gonna be super harsh. Let's just have a board member front it and keep our names off it." 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure arguing the details of how the proposal was submitted or its wording gets us anywhere. The proposal could have read, “Woodwinds - yes or no” and the results would be the same. There will be a vote. Edited January 8, 2020 by HockeyDad 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can believe what you want, but I believe you have this one messed up. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course that's a low bar, pretty much everything becomes an argument here. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lance Posted January 8, 2020 Share Posted January 8, 2020 failed amp proposals had that same fake air of inevitability amps got passed, and the corps that said they would never use them even if they got passed started using them in almost no time. they are completely and unequivocally the norm now. amps were inevitable. so are woodwinds, unfortunately.

"The higher you get on the totem pole the more your ### shows." I don't think she's going to do something seemingly stupid without her personal counsel on board.
